Corn Husks

[jamieneenah]

Perhaps a silly question, but I could not find an answer. Can chickens eat corn husks? Nothing toxic to the leaves and silk is there?

Mine eat them out of my compost bin and they have had no problems.

well I never had chickens eat corn husks
and I definetly wouold not let chickens eat out of compost bin
as that would be spoiled food in there starting to decay
a good way to get brownish runny manure
and enhance E.coli and yeast infection

but to each his own

If you do any gardening, plant some extra corn and feed the plants to your chickens when you thin out the rows.
